But the folks behind The Last of Us also sat down with IGN and went through an extensive Q&A session -- which touched on why Naughty Dog changed Ellie's character model.
"After delving further into the game’s narrative over the past few months, we decided to modify Ellie’s model to better reflect [actress] Ashley [Johnson]’s personality, and also resemble a slightly younger teen more fitting to the story," said creative director Neil Druckmann. "We're happy with the final result shown in the cinematic we have released today, and hope the fans like her too."
Trouble was, a lot of you sounded off in the comments that you didn't notice a difference between December Ellie and May Ellie. So, I went through both trailers again for a comparison. Check out the images below and let us know in the comments what you think of the change.
